but it's so much less deadly than jumping in front of your bullets.
things I need to say: it's about the words. not
teeth curled over lips 'I see.' 'I don't think now's a good time to talk.' 'The neighbors will be back in an hour.' 'It's okay.' 'We'll all be dead by then.'
this isn't us. (the television was turned up too loud for anyone to fall asleep. a hangover turning on a leather couch. "I need my jacket to go home.")
I wonder if you moved because you could feel us breathing at the same pace, or if you understood my heartbeat.
the past: memories.
cut:
with emotion.
I bet we could make some money if we learned to strip: that all away.
